EARTH DAY IS MONDAY APRIL 22!
| 
Consider recycling and other green activities at home during this week!
In the fall, Vanderlyn Vikings gave over 60 pair of shoes to Nike for recycling. With that in mind, do you have more old athletic shoes to recycle? Take them to the Nike store at Lenox Mall. Nike recycles them into material used in other shoe soles, Nike apparel finishes, and sports surfaces like running tracks and tennis courts.
Keep up the good work and Happy Earth Day!
